Your parent's first cousin would be your 1st cousin once removed. IF your parent's 1st cousin had a child/children, that child/children would be your 2nd cousin.

What would a child call the first cousin of their parent? Would that person be considered an aunt/uncle or some sort of cousin?
The person who witnessed my grandfather's death certificate indicated that he was a nephew. To me that meant he was the son of my grandfather's brother (or at least half brother). Last night while watching TV I noticed that someone referred to the first cousin of his father as his uncle. If that if correct in my situation it would totally change the prediction about who our MRCA might be.
DNA suggests that I have many 2nd cousins who appear to share a great grandfather with me. New research suggests this isn't possible and that these are two separate people who were both named after their common grandfather, but are sons of different fathers. That would make them 1st cousins. If so, would the son of one cousin consider himself to be a nephew of the other 1st cousin? If true it would explain some tree discrepancies I have been unable to resolve.
